As I wrote, Prouty spied for her brother-in-law, Talal Khalil Chahine, a Hezbollah financier who sent the terrorist group $21 million in revenue from his La Shish Middle Eastern restaurants. (The Bush administration, by the way, allowed Chahine to flee the country, which is even more nauseating.) She accessed FBI and CIA databases for Chahine, telling him the status of the investigation into his Hezbollah financing activities.

This woman is anything but an American patriot. She’s part of an Islamic terrorist gang who infiltrated this country at the highest levels and financed our enemies to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. It’s beyond nauseating that “60 Minutes” would take her side, fall for her BS. But it’s par for the course for them. The “reporter” on this segment is Scott Pelley, who mercilessly attacked U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich for killing Iraqis in Haditha in defense of his troops, while they were under fire during a war. Yes, Pelley’s (and 60 Minutes’) outlook is this: American soldier defending his troops in wartime–scumbag; Hezbollah spy in America–Awesome! And don’t you just love how they included Nada Prouty’s sexy glamor shots . . . as if that, somehow, means she wasn’t a terrorist spy.

**** UPDATE: I watched the entire propaganda report by Scott Pelley, and was even more disgusted than I predicted. What a piece of tripe. Here is my response, in addition to what I’ve already written above–and please note the things that Prouty and Pelley absolutely lied about:

* Big Lie #1: Prouty claims that she was shown a picture of her brother-in-law with what she was told was a “Hezbollah spiritual leader,” but that she didn’t recognize the man or know who he was. PUH-LEEZE. The man in the picture with her brother-in-law was Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, the spiritual leader of Hezbollah and one of the most famous men in Lebanon, where she grew up, not to mention the entire Middle East. He is also one of the key figures in Islamic terrorism for the last three decades, having issued the fatwah to blow up our Marine barracks and Embassy in Beirut. To claim she didn’t know who he was is like me claiming I don’t know who Michael Jackson or Ronald Reagan is. It’s simply a BIG LIE.

So sad that 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley was so bent on his apologist slant for the segment that he failed to point this out and took her word for it. If Prouty truly didn’t know who Fadlallah was–and that’s simply not a credible claim–then she should have been completely disqualified from working for either the CIA or FBI based on her ignorance of that basic fact alone.

* Big Lie #2: Pelley reported that Prouty was not deported because the federal judge on her case, Avern Cohn, blocked her deportation back to Lebanon because he said that she would be killed by the very terrorists she investigated. That’s absolutely false. Judge Cohn said no such thing. The feds are blocking her deportation because they said, as a CIA and FBI agent for many years with access to classified information, she would be useful to terrorists. Prouty would not be killed in Lebanon because she worked for Hezbollah–the terrorists who control that country. She would be welcomed and celebrated as a heroine there.

* The story makes a big deal about Prouty working in Iraq to locate Saddam Hussein, with her whining that “I risked my life for this country.” Uh, no, she risked her life for Hezbollah. In fact, Hezbollah–a Shi’ite terrorist group backed by Iran–wanted Saddam Hussein out. He’s a Sunni and was the only thing blocking Iran from taking over and extending its Shi’ite crescent from Lebanon to Iran. Big deal that she “helped” on this.

* The story makes a big deal out of Prouty’s work in investigating the Khobar Towers and U.S.S. Cole bombings. But, again, these are bombings done by the Sunni terrorist group, Al Qaeda, and she was working for rival Shi’ite group Hezbollah. So, big whoop. Also, Hezbollah helped Al-Qaeda in the Khobar Towers attack, and 13 Hezbollah terrorists were arrested in connection with that. Did she try to cover up Hezbollah’s role in that attack? We’ll never know for sure. But I’d bet on it. Remember her brother-in-law, Talal Chahine, was Hezbollah’s third biggest donor after Iran and Syria, and her own sister helped him do it, cooking the books for him.

* Prouty said she didn’t have anything to do with her brother-in-law, Chahine (pronounced “Shah-Heen,” not “Shah-Hayne,” as Pelley kept incorrectly pronouncing it). False. She worked at his restaurant. He was the one who arranged for her to engage in a sham marriage–to a busboy who worked at his restaurants–and perpetrate immigration fraud. Strangely, this fact was omitted from Scott Pelley’s propaganda piece.

* Prouty said she believed her brother-in-law, Chahine, was a womanizer as she claimed and was “cheating” on her sister, then why did she look the other way when her sister became wife number three, of four total wives that he had. PUH-LEEZE, she knew.

* Not once did Pelley ask Prouty about–nor did he note–that her entire family back in Lebanon was in the Syrian National Socialist Party, a political party and terrorist group working in conjunction with Hezbollah, nor was it mentioned that several of her relatives were terrorists who engaged in murder and car bombings.

* Pelley said that the feds presented their case “as if she plotted since the age of 19″ to infiltrate the FBI and CIA. Uh, does Pelley have any proof she didn’t? Is it really that inconceivable that our enemy plots to infiltrate us? They’ve done it throughout history, and they’re doing it now. That Pelley finds this notion ridiculous just shows how naive and ignorant–or how fraudulent and dishonest–his reporting is.

* Prouty said that her neighbors won’t talk to her and neighborhood kids won’t play with hers. Boo hoo. She should be behind bars forever, and her anchor baby daughter should be sent packing to Lebanon. She’s lucky to live in freedom in our country, a country of which she took advantage, in which she remained illegally, and which she defrauded.

These people need to be given a one-way ticket out of the country…maybe to Antarctica or someplace else they would really NOT like to be and could never leave.
We never watch 60 minutes anymore. It has long ago ceased to be a relevant source of information.

Robert Pollard never received such deferential treatment. Just the opposite. Not to excuse spying but when a Jew does something wrong, there is a double standard. And whatever Pollard’s crime, he wasn’t seeking to deliberately to undermine this country or strengthen its enemies.

The isn’t she just guh-reat whitewash CBS’ 60 Minutes gave to Nada Nadim Prouty and its ripoff of Debbie Schlussel without giving her proper credit, is another sign of the decline of America.

This was high quality Bin Laden propaganda disguised as reporting.

Shame on 60 Minutes!

NF: You meant Jonathon Pollard. And I agree. In my past writings on the sentence Prouty got, I compared his sentence–life in prison for spying for a friend–to her ridiculous $750 fine. He will be celebrating Passover in prison, and they’re keeping his medicine–which he badly needs–from him, while she is being paraded on 60 Minutes as some sort of hero for committing treason for an Islamic terrorist enemy. DS

Oops… yes I meant Jonathan Pollard. He gets his medicine withheld from him in prison while Prouty is lionized on a TV newscast as some sort of patriot. When it comes to treason, to put what you’ve said in different words, some traitors are more equal than others. Or more amenable to be rehabilitated.

I’m not surprised by this. Angry as Hell, but not surprised. Last time I checked, Treason was punishable by death. Now you get to go on 60 minutes. Daniel, sadly you’re probably right. She’ll get a special appointment by the O to Homeland nonsecurity. I keep wondering what it’s going to take for the people in this country to explode.

It wasn’t just the FBI involved in those raids against Hutaree,The Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force were also involved in the raids.

And what justified this large scale raid?
“…the FBI targeted the Hutaree after its members made threats of violence against Islamic organizations.”

So was this “threat of violence” going to be used in response to an organized attack against their community and so be used in self defense?
And the FBI decided to make an example of them to the rest of the country?

I guess the Muslim community can feel safer tonight knowing they’re protected by our country’s top law agencies.

You just have to adore “bloggers” thinking that their skewed views on the world are on par with real journalists. I have yet to be shown any information (you know…those pesky facts that get in the way of a blogger rant) which supports your views. I know…I know – my thoughts are unpopular with my wanting to know the TRUTH, not a bunch of xenophobic garbage.

Thank you for being a billboard. Did you have anything to address this topic, or do you just spam websites? If I wanted anything that the Coffee Party offered, I would be joining Organizing for America as an honest leftist would. Keep it honest, rather than trying to come up with a silly “me too” organization that won’t even attract the same people.

I just saw the piece. Sixty Minutes was not interested in the truth. How do I know?

About 5 years ago (I actually do not remember exactly how long ago this was – I could be off by a lot). Sixty Minutes did a piece on a Jewish Man who was denied employment by the CIA I believe after they had already offered him a job based on something that turned up late after their investigation of him.

Sixty Minutes brought in Joseph Di Genova (The lying prosecutor who framed Pollard) to look at the evidence and report back. The CIA agreed to show DiGenova the evidence. DiGenova reported back that there was sufficient evidence to deny this Jewish individual employment, but he did not say what it was (presumably for reasons of National Security, but if they did find something how would releasing it jeopardize security?).

Sixty Minutes did absolutely nothing in this case to find out what actually happened. They were only interested in doing a propaganda piece.

That the Prosecutors in the Prouty case refused to give statements does not mean anything. Given the current administration they had better shut up if they want to keep their jobs.

Muslims terrorists who seek to rule the earth and slaughter Jews and non-converts, their enablers and sympathizers are coddled by the bloodthirsty, vile neo-lib leftists. What a disgusting nightmare this country has become.

I hope this country gives Nada Prouty many sorries and much money for what they did to her and her family .. our government has been lieing to us for yrs and everyone believes the crap … good luck to you Nada !!!! our country discusses me the way they treat people !!!! our own country men and women for one thing !!! they do or kill anyone they want to and make it sound like something else !! they hold secrets from us that the rest of the world knows except us !!! it is so sad what our country has become !!!! i really dont care what anyone else thinks so isnt going to do any good for you to take stabs at me !!! kyle

stunned. the details and all those nefarious terrorist family members. Unbelievable that she is getting away with it within our very own covert operations within the secret service agencies. It is like as if they want her back already and are creating a public relations piece to lubricate the mechanism of government to employ all the Jihadis. Her immediate case I don’t care too much about because she’s merely one real bad egg. What is threatening here is the media is setting up arguments for legitimizing terrorists so they can run a police state controlled by those same terrorists. am I over the top here? you bet… but to me this is like an Islamic Clockwork Orange and this feminist trophy gal is just another gang member for Mohammed.

I’m still reading the details here… so I’m not going to repost this till I understand the whole thing.

By your own admission she is not Muslim. How then can she be part of an ISLAMIC group? That is oxymoronic. This woman faced CIA investigations numberous times and was found to be innocent of ALL charges related to spying. The judge condemned the prosecutors for their actions and distortions in the media. This woman saved numerous AMERICAN LIVES and faces death in her country of birth. Her only crime is wishing so badly to be AMERICAN that she committed fraud to get here just like hundreds of thousands of others do yearly. NO that is not commendable but her actions in support of our country are more than commendable. Should she be an FBI agent again no… she is compromised due to who her sister married but she should not be persecuted for something she did not do. I for one think she is an American hero regardless of area of birth.

What irritates me is the woman when though a USCIS investigation to become a citizen, after having a sham marriage. She passed the FBI background investigation that took two years to complete and then two additional investigations for a stricter security clearance. None of this was discovered? Why no investigation on the investigating officials? How did they miss it?
Google an interview on Faux, Recruiting in Muslim America, http://www.foxnews.com/search-results/m/27645268/recruiting-in-muslim-america.htm and watch former CIA director Hayden talk about how strict such security investigations have become.

Some of the posters on this page are out of control.
You’re whipped up in a McCarthyesque fervor.
60 Minutes just reports the facts. If anyone on this page has a right to feel outraged about mishandlings on the war of terror I think I earned that right.
But, what you have accused Nada Prouty of is completely out of line.The woman was an asset to our intelligence communnity. She has served our country without reservation & this is how she is treated by media & institution alike? No wonder the rest of the world, enemies & allies alike, look down their noses at us.
THE CIA CLEARED HER OF ANY & ALL WRONG DOING !!!
Your perpsectives are clearly distorted. The woman is not even Muslim. Please revisit an ethics in Journalism textbook…”All the news that’s fit to print…..Just the facts , Maam.”

John White American Republican 9/11 Survivor on March 28, 2010 at 9:38 pm

the only McCarthyesque fervor is the one the government has on people who read the Quran and find out all the violence and hate in it… which by the way the Druse consider also to be a holy book. Debbie didn’t say she was Muslim. we understand about the Drewsie. I used to know one from Lebanon that was my near best friend before he slept with my girlfriend at the time. The Drewsie are supposedly loyal to whatever government they are in, but from my experience of knowing a Drewsie in America that this is not so. The government in Lebanon is run by Jumblatt the Druse… another Hezbollah proxy.

heh heh…. my Lebonese Druze friend once slept with an Egyptian girl and when she realized his background she trashed his place with red paint. The Druze can only marry their own. Everyone in the middle east apparently understands this and the Druze sleep with whores to satiate their appetites till they can find a Druze woman to marry. Looks like there will be less work for whores now that we freed up this female.

Debbie, could you possibly have been wrong about her? Do you cast reasonable doubt aside or do you not even entertain it regarding this story? Perhaps you should take a page out of the government’s playbook on this one: realize you have nothing on her, understand you’ve helped to ruin her life, then let it go and hope it goes away.

The woman was probably a terrorist. She tries for the press to simpathyse with her by going to a war zone in Iraq while been pregnant. She was really trying not to get caught. Stupid bitch would risk her baby and then justify the reason why. Then she says she didn’t know her evil brother in law was the hezbollah leader. Wasn’t she supposed to be a spy for the CIA and didn’t know this guy. She should at least have been deported otherwise should be doing at least some community work for life without pay.

Debbie,
The Druze are aligned against Hezbollah and have been for some time. That’s a mark in her favor.

Hezbollah is a religious fanatical organization. The Syrian Social Nationalist Party is a secular, autocratic party in Syria. Offshoot of Hezbollah? Hardly. They have been in existence since the 1930s.

DX: That’s an incorrect and uninformed statement. Some Druze are against Hezbollah (currently those who follow the previously pro-Syrian whore Walid Jumblatt). Some (radical) Druze (like the Al-Aouar family) are aligned with Hezbollah. Anyone who says “The Druze are aligned against Hezbollah,” just doesn’t know the Middle East, let alone Lebanon, that well. And, sorry, but RIF–Reading Is Fundamental. I never said that The Syrian National Socialist Party is an offshoot of Hezbollah. I said they are allied. Hello . . . ? Nice tries, no cigars. DS

Nada Prouty is INNOCENT! Please Debbie….Are you kidding me? You should be deported along with the prosecutors who railroaded her. They just couldn’t admit they were wrong so they kept digging until they found something stupid she did when she was 19. Even the CIA says she is innocent. What a joke you are. You are exactly what is wrong with this country.

All you people who agree with Debbie are a joke and pretty much a disgrace to the USA. I can only imagine the collective IQ of you all. You are all dumb as rocks.

B: The “something stupid” she did when she was 19 is the ONLY reason she’s even here in the first place. She is an illegal alien. Helloooo . . .? We are deporting men who fought for this country in Iraq with our Armed Forces. She should be dropped into a giant pit of Al-Qaeda terrorists, and they should be informed how she works for Hezbollah. DS

What is actually pathetic is your inability to refute any of the points Debbie has made. Has Debbie said anything inaccurate about Prouty, and if so, what? If not, how are you doing anything other than spitting out venom yourself?

Just by asking the question you asked, proves to everybody else who actually read her articles, that you are clueless and have never bothered to read any of her work because if you did, you would realize “who is Pathetic?”
You admit that you only spent 3 minutes trying to debunk her, so you admit that your mind was already made up, no matter what the truth is or was…Who’s pathetic now?

While clearly Prouty is a pathological liar, and has no business working for the FBI or CIA; I have doubts about her guilt as a spy, terrorist, or someone who wants to destroy the USA. Lying on behalf of family does not necessarily = apy or terrorist. I keep an open mind, but her multiple successful polygraphs administered by government operators is pretty compelling evidence in her favor (regardless of inadmissibility in criminal court – they are admissible in my court)

I don’t buy her garbage about not being guilty of improperly accessing the FBI computer case files. If you can’t afford a lawyer to defend yourself, you can get one free of charge in this country.

Regardless of the specifics of her crimes, which may never be known, she has no business being on USA soil, nor her kid.

Thanks for flushing out some of the cockroaches that support terrorism. It’s laughable to me that they show up on your blog to whine that you’ve been “unfair”. May the devil take them ALL! LOL! Please keep up the great work! I for one am very grateful for your efforts on behalf of our freedoms. And, I look forward to the day when Ms. Prouty and her entire clan are privileged to enjoy the hospitality of the “kingdom of two holey places”. It can’t happen soon enough.

I am Nada’s neighbor and happened upon the 60 Minutes interview the night it aired. For what it’s worth, she’s a perfectly pleasant, respectful neighbor, her children are very sweet, and I don’t know of anyone who feels unsafe with her here. That said, I also don’t know of anyone in the neighborhood, adult or child, who has been disrespectful to her or her children. In fact, my own children play with her children. Perhaps this happened in another community she is involved with- school, etc. That part of the interview did not ring true for some of us living in her neighborhood.

C: Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy were perfectly pleasant, respectful neighbors, too. So what? She’s a terrorist spy. Period. If you let your kids play with her or get anywhere near her, you are part of the problem, not the solution. Perhaps we need another 9/11 for you to get it. DS

We wonder why other countries hate us??? What happened to Nada Proudly is awful!!!!! Give this woman back her citizenship!!! She put her life and her unborn babies life – on the line for this country and deserves to be a part of this country! This is terrible – GIVE HER BACK HER CITIZENSHIP!!!

I find her eyes very interesting– The window to her soul says she is a liar. I turned 60 minutes off a long time ago.
How Blinded they are…They love their jobs and money more than they do this country.
Of course she would be pregnant-terrorists have no respect for Life. These people are all in our country–But they will be rooted out and exposed.

As a retired immigration attorney I believe 60 minutes failed to tell us why she waived the statutue of limitations for her fraudulent marriage. There must have been other damming evidence on charges that would put her away for some time for her to waive the statute.
